sar4x4 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Can you bring it out to a Coffee Night sometime, or tell us where to come see it? Maybe we'll chip in for some 'Renew' or whatever it's called for your rear bumper plastic end caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be out this Thursday, but I want to make either the next Burnside or Bedford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekmac Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 So I started the next project, bedlining the interior. I have a bit more sanding to do, then a final wipe down before spraying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 The bedliner is done, now to just wait for it to cure fully and put it back together. I'll probably have a few spots to touch up, or that I missed that I'll need to just brush it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekmac Posted August 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 This weekend I finally changed the leaky drivers side rear axle seal and bearing. The last two that went in it were Timken (seals and bearings), and they both leaked. I'm trying Federal Mogul ones (even though the bearing says Timken) a try this time. I changed the diff oil while I was at it, and it did look like a bit of water might have gotten in, but it wasn't too bad. I wanted to change the t-case fluid since I've yet to change it, but I ran out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I can't picture what it looks like off hand. But if leaking is a consistent problem, the axle shaft is probably worn. Common problem I believe. You can by shaft sleeves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 There was no visible wear on the shaft, but it is possible. It hasn't leaked yet, but it hasn't had any extended driving either. I have to drive into Halifax tomorrow morning, so I'll know then if it's leaking or not. Fingers crossed it wont!

Powerram Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Its possible your axle shaft is bent causing the leaks if no visible wear is present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no leak on the drive into the city, and it would have been dripping pretty good before. I'll check again after the drive back out, and hopefully it'll be dry.

derekmac Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 So no leaks at all today, but the starter did take a crap. I think it's been on its way out for some time now though as sometimes it would crank really slow, or it would take a couple of tries with the key for it to turn over. I'll get that along with the front hubs changed tomorrow, and hope all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I changed the starter and the front passenger side hub. Man, it turns over twice as fast than it ever has, and the slight shimmy I had on the highway is now gone. That hub was really loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
